Why WSU?

Whether you are a student-athlete, an employee, or a potential employee, Washington State University has something to offer you.

The WSU campus straddles College Hill in Pullman, a college town of 25,000 located among the rolling hills of the Palouse region of eastern Washington. The University is the largest residential university west of the Mississippi, which enhances the friendly, traditional collegiate atmosphere for which WSU is known.

WSU is located within easy traveling distance of Spokane and Coeur d'Alene to the north. Seattle and Portland are less than 300 miles to the west.

Enter the future with the confidence that comes from real preparation. For a student-athlete, preparation breeds confidence heading into a big game. At WSU, the education a student-athlete receives, together with the programs available and great faculty, gives our student-athletes that same confidence for the biggest game of all: their future.

This education provides our student-athletes the skills to be critical thinkers and initiators, important skills in any endeavor one decides upon. Student-athletes can immerse themselves in a variety of learning situations, ranging from high levels of interaction with professors to hands-on research projects and community and public service activities. The newest technology, numerous leadership opportunities, and study abroad programs further enrich the WSU college experience.

All employees of Washington State University have a unique and important role in the University community. The leadership roles of our employees allow WSU to extend its educational services throughout the state, with four campuses, research centers, and cooperative extension offices in each county of Washington.
